Bark After Dark

Bark After Dark is an evening zoo experience where families can explore the Akron Zoo grounds in a festive, dog-friendly atmosphere. This ticketed event combines the novelty of experiencing the zoo after sunset with the fun of bringing well-behaved dogs along as part of the celebration. Guests can expect a relaxed evening walk through the zoo, special lighting or décor, and activities centered around canines—perfect for dog-loving families who want something a bit different from a standard daytime zoo visit.
